Manchester United are among the Premier League clubs interested in signing Jobe Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund, the Daily Mail reports.

The Mail adds: "Ruben Amorim is a huge fan of the younger Bellingham brother and could anchor a United move for his services.

Dennis is a free agent after terminating his contract with Nottingham Forest by mutual consent in the summer, and though West Ham United looked into signing the player, he could be returning to Watford.
The Mail adds: "Dennis had a successful spell at Watford after joining them from Brugge in 2021. He scored 10 goals in 35 games before Nottingham Forest stepped in to sign him for £10 million a season later.
"However, he failed to replicate his form at the City Ground and drifted into a couple of loan spells including one at Watford again where he scored four goals.
"Dennis has been eager to remain in one of the top leagues so, despite interest from clubs far and wide, has been particular about where he ends up. However, with time drifting, he has become more open-minded about examining offers from the Championship."
